Parents need to know that one of the main characters in this cult-fave space Western from the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a "companion" -- a glorified term for a high-class prostitute. One of the show's storylines centers on the attraction (and resulting sexual tension) between her and the ship's captain, and there's plenty of discussion of her job (it's a high-status profession in the show's world). There's lots of sci-fi action, though little of it results in visible bloodshed, and some characters drink and smoke.
